Pletcher Pleased with Cowtown Cat Work

Calling the :58.91 move "as good as a horse could work," trainer Todd Pletcher expressed great pleasure with the five-furlong performance of Cowtown Cat over the Keeneland Polytrack Saturday morning.

The work was the second of 33 at that distance.

The work time was caught by trainer Todd Pletcher, who worked the son of Distorted Humorin company with the 4-year-old filly Magnificent Song. Exercise rider Loren Robson was in the irons aboard Cowtown Cat.

"It was as good as anything we could ask for," said trainer Todd Pletcher shortly after the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) starter crossed the wire. "It was a very, very good work. I'm pleased."

According to Pletcher, Cowtown Cat clocked the last quarter in :23.03, while galloping out in 1:11.69.
